Introduction Day 1, Morning, Tuesday, April 1, 1524 A.D.

My name is Logan Polo. I'm 25 years old. I ran out of silk in my store. I have to make four stops. I have a thousand dollars so I could buy more silk. I brought water and food for my journey.

Chang'an Day 2, Evening, Tuesday, April 1, 1524 A.D.logan.jpg

I walked into Chang'an to see if I could buy any silk. I looked in the corner of my eye and saw some guys running at me. I did a bicycle kick to all of them. I asked them who they were. They said they were enemies of Marco Polo. I told them to leave now. They ran as fast as they can.

Samarkand, Wednsday, Morning, April 2, 1524 A.D. ICA0A89HGCAJGG580CA2LIVQTCAOFN28YCAV8LYXHCANCB7ZSCA6QUBLBCALRH6H2CAABRY5GCASY20V8CAJ591N3CAV363VOCA6RZF07CAWQ7LEZCANORG50CAAIDFUYCAQFFUYNCAYW1Z6SCA99WIF6.jpg

I took a horse that I bought. I rode to Samarkand to see if I could find silk. I found one store that had a lot of silk. The silk costed to much. I only had $1,000. It cost $20,000. I got back on my horse and rode to my next stop which was Kashgar. I hope I find some silk there. I met a girl when I was about to leave. Her name was Lien-Hua, meaning "Lotus Flower". She told me she was lost I asked her did she want to come. I asked her to marry me she said yes.

I arrived at Kashgar. I looked for a store where they sold silk. I found a man selling silk outside his store. It was one hundred for every kind. I bought ten kinds of silk. I bought zebra, gold, red, black, leopard, yellow, lion, anaconda, gorilla, and giraffe silk. It feels really soft. I might go to the next town and rest.kashgar_old_town.jpg

Istanbul, Thursday, Night, April 3,1524 A.D.

I arrived in Istanbul. I was really exhausted. I asked people where a old house where I could sleep in was. They told me it was down the street then take a left. I came at the right time. I was the one millionth person to get a house from the lawn lord. I got a free house! I walked inside the house it was pretty decent for my days. I opened the door. It wasn't a oldhouse. I was the king's room! I was amazed. I jumped on my bed and went to sleep. The next morning, I woke up and went to the lobby to eat breakfast. I ate my breakfast then I got on my horse and headed for home. Lien-Hua and I set off to plan our wedding.joseph_tomb_2.jpg
